Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 251 Sound the alarm

"Although I don't know whether it is a subspecies or what, since you said that its shape is similar to Fengshan Dragon, let's call it 'Fengshan Dragon' for now.

How long do you think it will take for it to arrive near Lockark?"

Titles and biological classifications are not within the scope of the guild leader's concerns. What he has to consider are more direct and practical issues.

"Based on the speed of Fengshan Dragon, Maridan and his team's day and night journey helped us gain about half a day.

It should come to the nearby area after dark." The captain of the ship made a simple estimate and gave the answer.

"Then send an evacuation signal immediately!"

Several members of the Sand Fleet nodded, ran to take out the flares, and fired them into the air.

Another person rushed up to the Dragon Boat Peak Mountain Maru, swung a hammer, and struck the huge gong with a simple shape.

"哐——"

The long and deafening sound resounded throughout the desert city.

Almost everyone was attracted by the sound of gongs and looked at the sky here, and also noticed the signal flares rising into the sky.

The fortress guerrillas and members of the tourist association received the signal and immediately began to organize the evacuation.

"This way, meow! Please go this way in an orderly manner, meow!"

"Don't worry, the shelter has plenty of space and everyone will be arranged."

The businessmen and tourists who came to Loklak for the first time seemed a little panicked.

Some people are still sorting out the goods at the stalls, or planning to rush back to the hotel to pack their luggage.

Without the intervention of the fortress guerrillas and the tourist association, experienced businessmen or local residents of Loklak would stop them.

"Oh, don't be so nervous. Although it is an alarm, it actually has nothing to do with us. There is everything in the shelter. Just hide for a day.

Something that happens every year, the moment the gong sounds, the real harvest festival has just begun!"

"Yeah, don't close the stall or anything like that. Just cover it with a piece of cloth and weigh it down with a stone to block the sand and dust. Then come back and continue doing business. Otherwise, someone will take away such a good stall like yours." .”

"Thieves? Hahaha, how can a thief dare to do anything wrong at this time? Do you really think that the 'shawolves' of the city guerrillas are vegetarians?"

The calmness of the citizens and experienced businessmen gave confidence to those who were panicking.

The evacuation and evacuation work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

This side of the big dock.

The final preparations before the attack are also being carried out in an orderly and efficient manner.

Since it is located in a desert, there is no need to worry about issues such as getting wet.

The artillery shells, super-giant anti-dragon explosive bombs specially made with pork chops, large bundles of heavy-duty crossbow bolts, and restraint bomb kits have all been stored in the arsenal of the dragon-attacking ship in advance.

At the moment, the main purpose is to check the sail ropes of the dragon boats and sand boats, the locks of the safety ropes and other details that are prone to failure.

Considering that the "Fengshan Dragon" attacking this time is larger than the ordinary Fengshan Dragon, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with.

The captain of the ship regiment temporarily ordered that the dragon-attacking ship and the sand ships carry more ammunition than originally planned.

Doing this may weaken the sand boat's flexibility to a certain extent, but it is better than running out of ammunition and being helpless in the face of the still-vibrant Fengshan Dragon.

So, everyone started the intense moving work again.

At the same time, the guild leader and the captain of the ship received a reasonable but unexpected visitor.

——The fishermen representatives of Lockark.

Fishermen in the desert may sound a bit strange, but in fact, this is a very ancient profession in the sand sea area.

Their main target is the sand fish that lives in the sand sea - a ferocious fish that can reach a maximum size of more than four meters.

They took sand boats and used harpoons and giant nets to catch sand fish, break them down, and sell them.

Sandfish liver is a world-famous delicacy. Sandfish skin can be used to make fine sand boots and travel clothes. Sandfish meat is one of the main sources of meat for desert residents. The fins and teeth can even be used to make hunters. equipment.

As long as you can catch one or two from a voyage, it will be considered a successful return.

However, it is very difficult to find these sand fish with scales that are exactly the same color as yellow sand in the vast sea of ​​​​sand. In many cases, you can only rely on luck.

Because of this, the large number of sand fish that come with Fengshan Dragon every year has become an important source of their regular income.

These men in the sand sea have already sharpened their harpoons and can't wait to join the "gourmet feast".

"It's too dangerous!" The captain's first reaction was to refuse.

"This year's Fengshan Dragon. Well, there is no need to block any news now. What is coming this year is not the ordinary Fengshan Dragon, but a larger and more dangerous subspecies.

We have no chance of successfully repelling it, if"

"Lingshan Dragon?" A ship boss with gray hair but still strong muscles muttered.

Everyone's eyes turned to him.

"You know it?!"

The captain of the ship and the captain of the guild both became excited.

What is most lacking right now is information about the incoming thing.

The former Loklak government was in chaos, and many materials and documents were lost in the long river of time.

In the past few days, the guild leader has also sent people to inquire about the elderly dragon people in the city about Ji Feng's late arrival, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Who would have thought that the old fisherman in front of him would actually know something?

Suddenly becoming the focus of everyone's attention, the old fisherman was a little nervous. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, I just heard a name when I was a child. I don't know anything else!"

Another boat boss next to him pushed him and said dissatisfied: "Old man, please think about it carefully. Eating so much shark liver is not enough to replenish your brain?"

The old fisherman held his forehead and thought hard, and the people around him held their breath and did not dare to disturb him.

"I remember when I was a child, I listened to an old dragon man near my home telling stories. He kept talking about the full moon night, coming from the deep sea of ​​sand, the purple crystals, and the spiritual mountain dragon."

The old fisherman scratched his head hard and said awkwardly: "I can just remember this. I thought he was making up a story based on Fengshan Dragon."

"What about Laolong Renren?" a fisherman asked.

"I died early."

The captain of the ship and the captain of the guild looked at each other.

The purple crystal alone matched the mysterious dragon that Maridan and the others saw, plus today happened to be a full moon night.

"Lingshan dragon?" the guild leader repeated.

He called a guild member, "Go and send a message to the scholars of the Scribes Team and the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau, telling them that the incoming object is the Lingshan Dragon. If they find anything or make any connections, please tell me immediately!"

The guild members left in a hurry.

"Sorry, we can only think of one name." The old fisherman felt a little guilty.

The guild leader comforted him, but he didn't feel too disappointed.

He looked at the fishermen and said: "The captain of the boat just made it clear that what is attacking this time is not the Fengshan Dragon, but the completely unknown Lingshan Dragon.

The unknown represents danger, and the sandy fleet is ready for a fight to the death. Do you really want to follow the fleet and fish close to Lingshan Dragon?"

Several ship bosses looked at each other and laughed boldly.

"Dangerous? Isn't it dangerous to fish close to Fengshan Dragon? Hahaha, men on the sand sea are not afraid of danger!"

"That's right, the coward deserves to be hungry!"

“If you want to join the ‘Gourmet Banquet’, how can you do it if you don’t have the courage?”

The oldest man from the boat came out and said to the guild leader: "The sand fish are ferocious and will attack sand boats and even jump onto Fengshan Maru.

At the same time, the fishing boats also bear the important task of rescuing those who fell. Without us, everyone in the Sandy Boat Group would also have a headache."

The captain fell silent, what the old captain said was true.

Although the fishing fleet did not directly participate in the attack on Fengshan Dragon, it was still an important part of the battle.

Without them, it would be a big trouble just to clean up the sand fish that jumped on the dragon boat and bite everywhere, and the casualty rate of those who fell into the sand would also be greatly increased.

"I usually just pick up the bargains, but when the crisis comes, I shrink down and hide. The bones of the Shahai man are not that soft." The old boat head said with a smile.

The captain of the ship was silent for a moment, and finally smiled.

"Then, let's fight side by side again."
